Abstract

Fifty-two species, representing 39 genera of the ant subfamily Myrmicinae were surveyed for the presence of «pygidial glands» hetween the 6th and 7th abdominal terga. In 7 genera the actual glandular reservoirs were seen intact after dissection. In an additional 7 genera, reservoirs were not preserved, but pygidial sculpture suggests their presence in the living animal.
